Parlais is a former Roman city ofPisidia (inAsia Minor).
As a Roman colony it was calledJulia Augusta Parlais, and money was coined under this title.[1]Ptolemy[2] calls itParalais and places it inLycaonia (also in Asia Minor). Kiepert identified it withBarla, in the Ottomanvilayet of Koniah, butW. M. Ramsay[3] believes that it is contained in the ruins known asUzumla Monastir. Modern scholars follow Kiepert.[4]
The bishopric of Parlais was asuffragan ofAntioch, themetropolitan see of the province.
TheNotitiæ Episcopatuum mention the see as late as the 13th century under the namesParlaos, Paralaos and evenParallos. Four bishops are known from their participation inchurch councils: Patricius,Constantinople, 381; Libanius,Chalcedon, 451 (in the decrees the see is placed in Lycaonia); George,Constantinople, 692; Anthimus,Constantinople, 879. Academius who assisted at theFirst Council of Nicaea, 325, was Bishop ofPappa, not of Parlais asLe Quien claims.[5]
It is included in theCatholic Church's list oftitular sees.[6]
